Please check that you have a TMPDIR environment variable set outside of your DJGPP.ENV, and that it points to a *local* disk. The default coded into DJGPP.ENV is that the temp. directory is %DJDIR%/tmp, which you certainly don't want in a networked installation. I.e. set | grep TMPDIR should show you a directory outside that SMB share. > This is my first encounter with dual-processor WinNT/2k - is there > something inherent that antagonizes DJGPP executables? I shouldn't think so, but then, you never really know until you try it. -- Hans-Bernhard Broeker (broeker AT physik DOT rwth-aachen DOT de) Even if all the snow were burnt, ashes would remain.
